bolts, welds &tension members



S2004abn

Connections• needed to:

– support beams by columns– connect truss members– splice beams or columns

• transfer load• subjected to

– tension or compression– shear– bending



S2004abn

Bolts• bolted steel connections



S2004abn

Welds• welded steel connections

2



S2004abn

Fasteners• wood connections



S2004abn

Bolted Connection Design• considerations

– bearing stress• yielding

– shear stress• single & double

– member• rupture



S2004abn

Bolted Connection Design• ASD steel

– shear:

• bolt strengths• single & double

– bolt types• A325-SC, A490-SC• A325-N, A490-N• A325-X, A490-X

S2004abn

Bolted Connection Design• ASD steel

– bearing:• bolts rarely

fail by bearing• other part fails first

S2004abn

Tension Members• steel members can have holes• reduced area• increased stress



S2004abn

Effective Net Area• likely path to “rip” across• bolts divide transferred force too



Su2005abn

ASD – Tension Members• non-pin connected members:

– Ft = 0.60Fy on gross area– Ft = 0.50Fu on net area

• pin connected members: – Ft = 0.45Fy on net area

• threaded rods of approved steel: – Ft = 0.33Fu on major diameter – (for static loading only)

LRFD - Tension Members• limit states for failure1. yielding

S2004abn

Welded Connection Design• considerations

– shear stress– yielding– rupture



S2004abn

Welded Connection Design• weld terms

– butt weld– fillet weld– plug weld– throat

• weld materials– E60XX– E70XX

FEXX = 70 ksi



S2004abn

Welded Connection Design• ASD

– shear• Fv = 0.30Fweld

– throat• T =0.707 x weld size

– area• A = T x length of weld

– weld metal generally stronger than base metal (ex. Fy = 50 ksi)

Framed Beam Connections• angles

– bolted– welded

S2004abn

Framed Beam Connections• terms

– coping



S2004abn

Framed Beam Connections• tables for

standard bolt holes & spacings

• n = # bolts• angle leg

thickness• length needed



S2004abn

Beam Connections• LRFD provisions

– shear yielding– shear rupture– block shear rupture– tension yielding– tension rupture– local web buckling– lateral torsional buckling



Su2004abn

Beam Connections• block shear rupture • tension rupture
